Carhartt C03 Arctic Quilt-Lined Traditional Coat — Brown | Men's 54

A Carhartt C03 traditional coat in brown duck, arctic quilt lined and made in the USA, tagged 54 Regular. The canvas has mellowed to a warm, even tan with the soft hand that only years of wear give duck, and the corduroy collar has kept its deep brown.

Why it's vintage

The C03 is Carhartt's classic Traditional Coat. Here's how collectors date this one.

KEY INDICATORS: what to look for

1. Date code (June 2004): The tag carries the code 06 04. Carhartt codes read month then year, so this coat was made in June 2004.
2. RN 14806: That's Carhartt's registered number. RN numbers above 13670 were issued after 1959, so it identifies the company, not the coat's year.
3. Tag details: Carhartt "C" logo tag with C03 BRN 54 Regular: style C03, BRN for brown, size 54 Regular.
4. Origin: Made in USA, as printed on the tag.

How to check: Find the small number line on the tag and read the first two digits as the month and the next two as the year.
